Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for connecting hosts to any router by the use of bridges. Example implementations described herein are directed to determining connections between routers and hosts based on the topology of the NoC and cost functions. Unused routers may also be removed from the NoC configuration and unused directional host ports of routers may be utilized to connect hosts together depending on a cost function and the desired implementation.
